Heckler interrupts female Archbishop of Canterbury’s confirmation | News

A fraudster interrupted Dame Sarah Mullally during her confirmation as the new Archbishop of Canterbury on Wednesday (January 28).

Dame Sarah, 63, became the first female Archbishop of Canterbury in the Church of England’s 500-year history after Justin Welby resigned more than a year ago over safeguarding failings in the handling of the notorious case of prolific abuser and Christian camp leader John Smyth.

During the service at St Paul’s Cathedral, an impostor appearing to be dressed in religious garb briefly interrupted the gathering and was removed from the cathedral; but it was not immediately clear what he said.
